Bukchon Hanok Village is home to over 900 traditional Korean houses (hanoks) dated back to Joseon Dynasty.

Bukchon (Northern Village) was so called as it lies north of Cheonggyecheong Stream and Jongno.

Members of the royal family and aristocrats lived here during the Joseon period.

Today, many of these hanoks operate as cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants and tea houses, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience, learn and immerse themselves in traditional Korean culture.
